Hello all, As i progress with my project I ran into a doubt as follows: I am currently tiling a bathroom floor. I have laid down a single coat of a liquid sealing compound (weber 822), but then decided to lay Durabase matting over this, as I believe it will work better on the different joints...

Theres been a recent resurgence of projects (here in NZ) using sheet membranes and Im baffled as to why. I am struggling to find any benefit in using them and we are losing out on jobs because it is too expensive, both in material cost, labour and time. Some of the solvents used are also highly...

I know it has to be unmodified but which one is it? I usually use bal, and schluter says to use unmodified thin set. Which is an American term for adhesive? Thanks for the help!

I have posted on the forum before about an awful tiling job I had done several months ago. I have found another local recognised tiler who will be redoing the work. He has recommended that I do not need the uncoupling membrane. Any thoughts on this? I am not necessarily questioning his opinion...

I'm thinking about this more and more lately, I can get codex hydrostop at a stupid price ( which is like ditra Kerdi membrane ) now when tanking a shower area rather than messing about with liquids why not just put this sheet up . Even if you use Jackoboard rather than mess about with sealing...
